REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT
Exhibit 10.19
THIS REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT dated as of November 12, 2009 (this “Agreement”) by and
between TNP Strategic Retail Operating Partnership, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the
“Borrower”) and Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxx, an individual (the “Guarantor”).
WHEREAS, the Borrower has obtained a revolving credit facility from KeyBank National
Association (the “Lender”) in the amount of up to $15,000,000 pursuant to that certain
Credit Agreement dated as of the date hereof (as the same may be amended, modified or supplemented
from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”) by and between the Borrower and the Lender.
WHEREAS, as a condition precedent to the extension of the financial accommodations provided
under the Credit Agreement, the Lender has required the Guarantor to execute a certain Guaranty
(the “Guaranty”) dated on or about the date hereof in favor of the Lender pursuant to which
the Guarantor has guaranteed the obligations of the Borrower under the Credit Agreement; and
WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire to formally evidence the obligation of the Borrower to
reimburse the Guarantor for any payment made by the Guarantor under the Guaranty.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants contained herein, and
for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged by the parties, the parties hereto agree as follows:
Section 1. Definitions. The following terms shall have the meanings set forth below
for the purposes of this Agreement:
“Other Taxes” means any stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property
taxes, charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made hereunder or from the execution,
delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement.
“Taxes” shall mean present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or
withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto.
Section 2. Reimbursement.
(a) In the event the Guarantor makes any payment to the Lender pursuant to, or in respect of,
the Guaranty, the Borrower shall, within two business days after the Borrower receives notice from
the Guarantor that the Guarantor has made such payment, reimburse the Guarantor in an amount equal
to the amount so paid by the Guarantor under the Guaranty.
(b) In the event the Borrower fails to pay any amount hereunder when due, such amount shall
bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the one-month London interbank offered rate published
from time to time by the Wall Street Journal plus 1.50% and such amount, together with such
interest, shall be payable on demand.
(c) The obligation to pay the foregoing amounts shall be (i) absolute and unconditional and
shall not be subject to any offset or counterclaim of any kind whatsoever and (ii) shall be due and
payable notwithstanding (A) any lack of validity or enforceability of the documents and instruments
evidencing the Credit Agreement, the Guaranty or any other agreement or instrument relating
thereto; (B) any change, restructuring or termination of the organizational structure or existence
of the Borrower; (C) any acts of any governmental or quasi-governmental authority or regulatory
body affecting the Borrower, including, but not limited to, any economic, political, regulatory or
other events or any failure of any governmental or quasi-governmental authority or regulatory body
to permit the Borrower to comply with the terms of this Agreement; or (D) any other circumstance
which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrower.
(d) (i) All payments by the Borrower under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of, and
without deduction or withholding for, any and all Taxes.
(ii) In addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes due in the present or future.
(iii) The Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless the Guarantor for the full amount of
Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Guarantor and any liability (including penalties, interest,
additions to tax and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes
or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. Payment under this indemnification shall be
made within five days from the date the Guarantor makes written demand therefor.
(iv) If the Borrower is required by law to deduct or withhold any Taxes or Other Taxes from or
in respect of any sum payable hereunder, then:
(1) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all
required deductions or withholdings, the Guarantor receives an amount equal to the
sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made; and
(2) the Borrower shall make such deductions or withholdings and pay the full
amount deducted to the relevant taxation or other authority in accordance with
applicable law.
(v) Within 30 days after the date of any payment by the Borrower of Taxes or Other Taxes, the
Borrower shall furnish to the Guarantor the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing
payment thereof, or other evidence of payment satisfactory to the Guarantor.
